Field Marshal Bernard “Monty” Montgomery
With the Monty’s Humber kit in progress, it included 2 figures - a driver and Monty himself. What colors were the uniforms of the British during WW2? Monty looks to be wearing a heavy jacket. Photos online show the jacket is two colors - sort of a patchwork. What were the standard colors of the driver’s uniforms?

Battle dress was Khaki. Something of a grayish OD color

That’s a great photo of Monty! Now to replicate the colors to the figure.

Wow, the quality of those pictures is outstanding! It always amazes me how good analog photography was back in the days.
